What a night!

There's nothing better than waking up to "Lib Dem GAIN" after a night of elections. And there's been a long, long list of those after last night. We're absolutely delighted - congratulations to all our hardworking activists!

With over seventy councils yet to declare, we're up over 450 councillors and have gained control of 9 new councils:

Bath and North East Somerset - Jacob Rees-Mogg now has a Lib Dem for his local councillor!

Chelmsford - where we made 26 gains to take us from 5 seats to 31.

Cotswold - a council we've never held before

Hinckley and Bosworth

Mole Valley

North Devon

North Norfolk

Somerset West and Taunton

Vale of White Horse

There's no denying it - this is a Remain backlash. People up and down the country, in Leave and Remain-voting areas, are sick of Brexit.

Next step - carrying this momentum into the European elections. A vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote for Remain. Say you're with us - pledge your EU election vote to us today and help us stop Brexit:
